The Kingdom of Istoria was founded peacefully on November 5, 2009, by Max Kasbar, who declared himself as King. The current flag was created on November 9th.

Land Grab I

On February 4th, 2010, Istoria began a spree of territory-grabbing by capturing Duck Isle in Mirror Pond, Manito Park.

However, Istoria reclaimed it two days later. They also captured Manito Park, but was forced to give control back to America following negotiations. The spree ended on May 14th, when Max Kasbar decided to move and give all of Istoria's territory to America. However, the country is planning to move from Spokane, Washington, to San Diego, California, and would begin their land-claiming not even a month later.
